VEGA 2/0115/19 New approaches to the treatment of cachexia, inflammation and oxidative stress in experimental arthritis: The effect of various plant extracts of olive leaves, Rhodiola rosea, Tribulus terrestris, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil


The project focused on testing the effectiveness of various natural substances in alleviating the symptoms of inflammation and associated pathologies in a model of adjuvant arthritis in rats. Our contribution involved testing liver samples using the quantitative real-time PCR method, where we monitored changes in various inflammatory, antioxidant, and other genes expression.

VEGA 1/0429/21: Study of modulation mechanisms of inflammation and lipid metabolism by lactobacilli in the model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease



The project is focused on studying the mechanisms of action of four Lactobacillus strains (i) on the inflammatory process and lipid metabolism in a liver model (HepG2) and (ii) on the impaired intestinal barrier (Caco-2) under in vitro conditions. In the first phase, we will focus on studying the TLR4 signaling pathway and its downstream molecules, the activation of anti-inflammatory cytokine production, and the stimulation of the expression of negative regulators of the TLR4 signaling pathway in the liver. We will monitor the impact of Lactobacilli on the regulation of lipid metabolism (influx, efflux, synthesis, and degradation of cholesterol, triacylglycerols, and fatty acids). In the second phase, we will optimize the inflammatory co-culture model of enterocytes (Caco-2) with hepatocytes (HepG2). At the molecular level, we will analyze the ability of Lactobacilli to restore the impaired permeability of the Caco-2 monolayer and influence the inflammatory process and lipid metabolism in the model of inter-organ communication over time. We aim to contribute to elucidating the mechanisms underlying NAFLD development and the possibilities of its modulation by probiotics with our findings.

Grant UK/162/2023 Creation, analysis, and optimization of an in vitro model in a human HepG2 hepatocyte cell culture for studying inflammation-induced changes in hepatic mRNA expression of genes related to HDL.


The project was focused on the creation and optimization of an in vitro model in HepG2 cells using THP-1 monocyte-conditioned medium (CM). Due to its high content of proinflammatory cytokines and mediators, CM appears to be a suitable agent for inducing inflammation-driven changes in lipid metabolism in hepatocytes, as confirmed by mRNA expression changes in HepG2 cells exposed to CM.
